A Tribute to the Country's Craftspeople

Any stroll through the streets of Indonesia's tourist centers or traditional markets will uncover thousands of handmade products – many of which reflect the skill of the country's crafts people, while others reflect an image of unquestionable design and quality. Unfortunately, many people's judgement of Indonesia's handcrafted products is based on the latter experience. The reality, however, is that Indonesia contains some of the world's most talented craftspeople who are busy producing thousands of products of an extremely high quality that sit on the shelves of some of the finest shops in the world.

Made in Indonesia: A Tribute to the Country's Craftspeople by creative entrepreneur Warwick Purser, celebrates the remarkable products manufactured in Indonesia and the people who make them. Made in Indonesia features photos by Rio Helmi – one of Indonesia's most celebrated photographers – and illustrates the distinctive and high-quality ranges of items made in Indonesia for well-known retailers the world over. This book is a valuable tool for hotel and residential designers and developers, as well as the public and private sectors to use in its efforts to find new markets for Indonesian products.

The beautifully presented book is catergorized by material, beginning with terracotta and ceramic and finishing with recycled materials. For interested buyers, it also includes a list of manufacturers.

Made in Indonesia is sold for around Rp.300,000 and can be found at all good bookstores.
